Spoiler-free synopsis
The Rise of War
The orcs are returning, but fear alone will not unite the nations of Lotine. Worthervir has not fought a true war in generations, its armies are unprepared and its warnings are met with doubt beyond its borders.
Tarimev is sent towards the Veiled Sea to uncover the truth, drawing Ebbina and the legendary Pirate King Daykon Edmonds into a dangerous voyage. Elsewhere, Torvald and Princess Cayte travel as diplomats, seeking allies while learning that danger can hide behind courtly smiles as easily as it can behind an enemy blade.
As the forgotten history of Kradak and the first Orcish War comes to light, friendship, love and duty collide—and the heroes of Worthervir must prepare for a conflict that will engulf the world.
